I believe FEMA was always on board. That’s part of their job...

Believe what you want, their behavior states otherwise.

C’mon, ya’ll can’t be serious to believe that anything in government turns on a dime in 30 minutes. Trump was briefed, or had Intel and posted before the announcement.
Not to mention all the different entity’s would have to be sitting, monitoring his every post, every second, 24/7 to have seen it when posted 🙄

Nice to see FEMA get shamed by President Trump into actually doing something.

XD XD... I was just talking about this elsewhere.

I can’t believe they did this. If I was Biden’s advisor, I would have told him to hold off a little, as the optics of reversing course immediately are TERRIBLE!

XD XD XD... a gift of immense value. A look into their very souls. Trump terrifies these people.

Trolls everywhere mourn, as this is impossible to credibly ‘splain away!

XD XD. Love it. Thanks tuber head!

Nice try.

I have seen things in Govt turn that fast.

But lets say what you state is actually what happened (’cause we know, the FedGov has peeps all over it that would spy for Trump). Master gamesmanship at its finest.

FEMA reversing its decision/direction was in actuality the administration going into post haste damage control.

Now the question begs an answer.. did DJT know that was going to be the predicted outcome of his announcement?

The Biden Administration publicly announced that it was not FEMA’s job to interfere in disasters of this scope. That administrative announcement alone indicated FEMA had no intention of going.

It’s a big clean up project...and that’s not what FEMA does. The EPA is working like hell to get this resolved as soon as possible.

Are you here in my area?

This is a major disaster!

Ever hear the saying "actions speak louder than words"? It's worth believing.

It is emergency management.

I was the first responder during Katrina FEMA was in charge.

FEMA was in charge that is until director Brown screwed everything up and they had to bring in Admiral Thad Allen, USCG to replace Brown. Admiral Allen at that point ran FEMA in New Orleans as a temporary assignment.

In charge of logistics, resource management, salvage, port restoration and services, railroad restoration... Other agencies and other resources, did the work and reported through sitreps, but FEMA ran it, and briefed up the chain.

ALL resources, EPA included fell under FEMA operational control.
